Beyond this Site

As rich as this site is, it is only the beginning of the research that can be done on the Chilcotin War and related matters. Below are some Internet and library resources that will expand your research beyond this site.

One of the richest sources for this mystery that is already online, so only excerpted here, is R.C. Lundin Brown, Klatsassan, and Other Reminiscences of Missionary Life in British Columbia London: Gilbert and Rivington, 1873. Brown spent the period between the trial and the execution making daily visits to the condemned Tsilhqot’in. The whole of Brown’s book is available at the Canadiana Online site.

The major source for the primary documents on this site is the British Columbia Archives, which has finding aids and many of their photos online.
